     As you probably know, compiled output of JBuilder is platform 
independent.  When you develop in Java, you are developing for Windows 
CE 2.0 and HP-UX 10.20 and Windows 95 and Sun workstations all at the 
same time.  Use the deployment wizard and you can distribute it across 
any platform.

     The problem, of course, is finding a Java Virtual Machine written 
for various platforms that is compatible with the version of Java the 
JBuilder produces.  The question is not whether or not you can develop 
for a specific platform, but rather, whether or not somebody wrote a 
JVM for the platform upon which you intend to run your application.

     I know that today in Yahoo!, they had a story about HP developing 
its own version of Java (OH NO!), and Microsoft using their product 
for Windows CE (OH NO!):

     Needless to say, disintegrating Java in this manner destroys its 
very most important feature -- 100% compatibility with any platform.  
I despise companies like Microsoft and now HP that is trying to 
destroy the language.
